This page may be largely obsolete, as there is now a time-server syncing
script in DSL 3.3

Look at /usr/local/bin/gettime.lua (which is a development of the same
script that the script below came from)

Here is a basic script used to set time/date on the Evo T20 at powerup - this is
necessary because the T20 has no hardware real-time-clock (RTC), so it
thinks the year is 1970 unless you tell it differently.

Note: this all might need changing if you're not using a fixed IP address like me - the network needs
to be up before we call the ntp-time script, and that may not be the case if
there is a background task getting a DHCP address.
